Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a guided viewing sheet during the documentary, pausing at each timestamp (for example, 0:00–5:00 for Part 1) so students can answer before moving on.
- Discussion question: Why do you think it is important for many different kinds of plants and animals to live together in one place?
- Scaffold: Read each question aloud, point to the Word Helper and Word Bank, and let students circle a choice before writing the answer.
- Extension: Have advanced students name one animal or plant from the video and explain how it fits into its habitat's biodiversity.
- Estimated time: about 20 to 30 minutes of viewing plus 5 minutes for a quick review of answers.
